The Smiley Smile Message Board

1) While others shiver at the sight of Charles Manson, the fan whistles 'Never Learn Not To Love".

2) Can pick out the word "Beach' in any music publication during a quick scan before buying.

3) While shopping for clothes,looks in the mirror and thinks "mmm... Dennis or Mike ?"

 :lol No. 2 describes me! Sometimes I even bought two copies of the same issue, one to read until it was almost torn, the other to keep in mint condition.

4) Grows beard every now and then, doesn't wash (--> dandruff and fatty hair and vague bodily others that I won't describe), and develops a strange fetishism regarding bathrobes.

5) Drives sellers at record fairs to madness by asking for 'Remember The Zoo' endlessly.

Nooooooooooooo... a true BB afficiando would know that no such album could ever have existed.  ;D

(I'm counting Andrew G. Doe's post as an extra item)

7) Recognizes Wishbone Ash jokes.

8) Finds Wishbone Ash jokes funny.

9) Can recite most of Murry Wilson's rants from memory.

10) ...praises Pet Sounds everytime a Beatles-tune is being played

11) ...wanders through L.A. and asks himself whenever he sees a 43-plus x-year old lady if Dennis b@nged her

12)....automatically stops when talking about David Marks and waits for Jon Stebbins to interrupt him  (sorry Jon, just joking)

1. Before a party buries all BB cds and albums in the back yard.

2. stashes all BBs cds under the seat when parking the car at the mall.

3. calls the local radio station daily requesting Rio Grande.

4. Has 3 or more copies of every album and single.

5. Is of the opinion that the the group will reunite and do another Pet Sounds album which is 10 times better.

6. On a windy day is often seen flying his official BB kite.

7. Still thinks Be True to Your School is better than any Beatles tune.

They have those?

Pix plz?

Here's my 15 Big Ones kite.  Never been flown, not even for the Benefit of Mr. Kite.

http://sonic.net/~dsktracy/bbstuff/Miscellaneous/pages/15%20Big%20Ones%20promotional%20kite%20(1976).html

I'm glad you found that!  I was thinking how much trouble it would be to find my kites, take pics and then post them here. 
Is that one pictured really yours?

No, but I have one just like it. And I also have a 15 Big Ones frisbee, and a 15 Big Ones poster, and a 15 Big Ones hanging mobile and a 15 Big Ones button, and a 15 Big Ones concert program, and a 15 Big Ones Billboard magazine, and a 15 Big One condom.

you really want to make sure if your posts are read, don't you?  ::)


EDIT:

or should I say (and I quote Don Zabu here):

Yeah, because hardly anybody responds to my posts.  Was it too dirty for the board?

I've seen worse here ...

(but son't see that as an invitation please)

Man, now I feel bad;
I'll try to be more in touch with your feelings and reply when I see your moniker here.

We must have gone to the same store-got it all except the last one-got lucky but the kite remains unused.  ;)

Hmmm....

Seems alright to me.

Anyway:
20) You write stuff like that.

Beach Boys afficianado.

1. One who knows that the Beach Boys recorded music after Pet Sounds.
2. One who knows about the Beach Boys 'Smile' and the reasons why it wasn't finished and released.
3. One who knows all the names of The Beach Boys, especially the names of the Wilson Brothers who passed on (and why) and the name of the one who lived to tell about it.
4. One who knows the name of the guy who is The Beach Boys.
5. One who can identify the lead vocalist in all of the Beach Boys songs (especially Brian's leads before and after 1975).
6. One who immediately recognizes the name of any given Beach Boys song, the lyrics of the song, the author(s) of the song, whether it was on a single/album, the record label it was originally released on, the year it was released, and if it charted.
7. One who knows who David Marks, Ricky Fataar, and Blondie Chaplin are and the years they were officially in the band.
8. One who knows if at the wedding, was Roger Christian, who did Gary Usher, and where did Van Dyke Park?
9. One who knows what the names 'Safari', 'Randy', 'Candix', and 'X' have in common.
10. One who knows how many years the Beach Boys have been the Beach Boys.
11. One who has read pretty much every book and article written about The Beach Boys and also passed the college prep class "Beach Boys 101" with magma cum loud honors.
12. One who knows how many women Dennis Wilson made love to.
13. One who has a Beach Boys collection larger than their entire music collection combined.
14. One who can compete with Andrew G. Doe in a Beach Boys trivia contest and survive at least the first round without being knocked out.
15. One who reads/contributes to the Smiley Smile board at least once per week.

I can meet some of the criteria I suppose; after all, I know the answer to # 4 is Mike Love.  And #11 IS me. 
#13, does this person have to read the Entire board?
#5 & 6; I don't hear so good anymore, so count me out on that, and I'm forgetting some other stuff more and more, but HEY! How about those Rangers?.

 ::)

There was even more promo stuff available for the "Love You" album. Warners seemed to go all-balls-out promoting those albums.

I have a large replica of the Love You album cover that hung in the record store for months after the release. Nice thick cardboard with a small square cut out of each corner.  Been a part of the house for a long time now.

Nice that it's cardboard; did they cutout the corners to hang it? 

Me too. It's 4 feet by 4 feet and about 1/2 inch thick styrofoam backing, only mine has metal rings embedded in the corners for hanging. 

In addition to a 'Love You' hanging mobile and a regular 'Love You" poster, there were also some promo posters with a pretty girl displayed. One each from San Francisco, Dallas, New York, Los Angeles, and Indianapolis. They say "Hi, I'm Kathy - The Beach Boys Love You" on them with a couple of previous WB BB albums displayed.

Got any idea how many other cities were immortalized?  I have the LA, NYC, Philadelphia, Indianapolis and Tampa.  Wish I could find SF and Dallas...
edit: I see there's also one for San diego.

There's one  constantly on Ebay  for Minneapolis. The seller wants $350 and I've never been able to get them to move off that price.  They have an AFRTS BBs/ Creedence LP that they want the same amount for. They're just nutty.  
http://cgi.ebay.com/BEACH-BOYS-LOVE-YOU-MINNEAPOLIS-HUGE-PROMO-POSTER-/320155724456

You have to pee really badly but you hold it in because you're listening to Pet Sounds.

Add: Knows how many versions of "Brian's Back" are out there among fans.   
        Knows that Brian Wilson is also a San Francisco Giants' pitcher
        Is still looking for another radio station version of " Almost Summer" by Celebration

      Let's Go Giants!

          Les in SF

edit: Damn, this is movin' fast tonight! I want one of those big-ass Love You posters though... or a Love You mobile so I could give it to my friend who had a child this past week!

I've seen worse, an'all  ::)

You try to record multitracked acapella covers of the harmonies in Audacity.

You can do that in Audacity?

Yeah, just record one track at a time.

Better yet, you try to sing Beach Boys songs entirely by yourself despite the fact that there are five or six members singing at any given time in The Beach Boys.

Corollary: You do this (and the above, for that matter) even though you know you cannot sing.

Elvis? Nah.

But we remember where we were on hearing of the deaths of Dennis and Carl. :(

and

We know AGD could tell us what song was recorded on a given day, session times, group members present, studio musicians and producer....but ask him what he had for lunch 2 days ago? No chance! ;D

Entirely true, sadly...   ???

#224: One who can recognize and name each and every track of the entire SOT series when played backwards.

@punkinhead:

go here (http://smileysmile.net/board/index.php/topic,9117.0.html)

You log in to find that you have spent a combined total of 11 days, 19 hours and 14 minutes on this board!

 :lol I have contemplated making this time registration the topic of a joke for quite some time now. But you did it perfect!

Cool! That was infact my exact time registration when I made the earlier post. I used to have a life....................................

 :-[ I hang my head in shame, sir. I must be going off the deep end... 15 days, 6 hours and 58 minutes.

That you own the entire run of SOT Unsurpassed Masters and can listen to all of it -- and be excited at the fact that you're listening to session tapes!

That you own SOT Unsurpassed Masters stuff to begin with.

6 days, 9 hours, 21 minutes. I've only been a member for 6 months....ok, time for a psych evaluation! I'd love to see what AGD's time is!

Total time logged in: 28 days, 5 hours and 38 minutes (since April 16th, 2006)


...And I actually still have a life  :o

Currently 22 days, 8 hours 51 minutes... errr... but that's since November 3rd 2008.  :o

We have the god given right to be critical. But if someone thinks they do, such as the lip-synch claim, we will defend the band to the end!

People come up to you at parties and, when hearing your name, recognise you as 'That guy who loves Brian Wilson'.

This actually happened to me the other day. I really don't know whether to be proud or ashamed  :lol

14:6:54... (since December 25, 2005, 05:56:41 PM) I'm a wee beginner!

I can run into people who I haven't seen in 20 years and the first thing out there mouth is "Do you still like The Beach Boys?".

Slight variation on this: back in fall 2004, customers at the store where I worked were congratulating me on the chart success of "your Brian Wilson". Even one's I'd not told about my interest.

Dear Doctor - I heard the same question at my 40th high school reunion the other night...as sat with some girlfriends with whom I went to my first Beach Boys concert in 1967!  Yikes!  Time has flown!

The more things change, the more they stay the same!  Plus ça change, plus la même chose!   :lol 

- When a friend is looking through your itunes music, gets to the Beach Boys albums, notices that it would take 1 Day, 22 hours, and 44 minutes to play through all your Beach Boys music, then says "I think you have a serious problem" with a straight face.

- When your blackberry ringtone is 'Do You Like Worms?'

For the last 2 and a half years I have been woken each morning by the alarm on my phone chanting "Eat alot, sleep alot, brush 'em like crazy. Run alot, do alot, never be lazy". Too be honest I'm starting to get a little sick of it!

Your friend's opinion is not your problem...You like what you like and sounds as if you have a pretty complete catalog -
You are a Beach Boys' scholar!

Hope you have some Stones, Buffalo Springfield and Fleetwood Mac  mixed in for "variety!"   :lol 

Yikes! Anything that disturbs me from sleep I tend to hate with a passion...so no Beach Boys music for my early wake up alarms! Though I have to admit it: that is pretty awesome that your alarm clock sings part of Vegetables.


Eh, not really a scholar, I just love their music!

And definitely have some Springfield and Stones mixed in!

Please... Mine's 'Gee'  ;D

OldSurferDude: you're my hero after all   :)

When driving through LA, you wonder how many women belong to the "slept with Dennis Wilson" club, how many belong to the "Dennis Wilson is my father" club, and then hope like hell that there aren't any women who belong to BOTH clubs...

 :lol ok, you win that battle! Well, if there was ever a song to be a ringtone, it would hands-down have to be 'Gee'! Any other recommendations for a Beach Boys ringtone? Anyone?

The dirty version of "Ding Dang".

Went to the last Stones movie and aside from gawking at the Mick and Christine Aguilara tune, spent the rest of the movie watching for glimpses of Blondie Chaplin. ::)

"Had to Phone Ya".

"Ding Dang" obviously, jeez!

Spent time with Wake the World on my CD alarm.

How about Shortening Bread as a ring tone?

my ringtone is the middle sha na na section of "she's goin' bald", so if my phone were to ring around any beach boy afficianados, they'd know that they're in good company.

Just look up outside and in case you wonder about those shoes (aka 'flying kicks') hanging down from telephone and power lines - could they in way be related to the question at hand? Nah - not by a longshot or maybe just by one:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OqmHbLEfm6Q
and sho€nuff...
like indicating "take a load off your feet" and "I tried to kick the ball but my tennie flew right off" in a secret message from fellow affish/shoe-nerdos
as if to tie in with the Beach Boys' 50 years $jubilee next year  maybe in the hopes of having the goods delivered by then...
Could this be another mystery solved(?)

Some who can never pass a record store without going inside and look up the BBs/BW sections. If the variety therein is not meeting his/her demands, a serious public berating of the owner is in order, and executed with lethal precision.

And in turn, gets blank stare (or wink) from said owner after vocal clubbing. ;)

Exactly!  ;D

134. At your wedding, you and your wife pick "Ding Dang" to dance to. It's your song.

YES!

...whilst the guests collectively drop their jaws as well as their champagne and caviar, and all four parents run away, fingers firmly in ears.

Exactement!

But there is always a chance that there will be some rare "foreign" edition with one "lonely" copy just waiting for me!

And, I am always "gentle" with the store owners... ;)

They can tell a lot about a person by what they listen to...I bet they could write volumes about what customers purchase...  

Hehe. There is at least one shop owner/record fair stall holder whom I (nearly) drove mad with asking for two 'foreign' editions for months. I wonder in which institution he's being taken care of now.

But, s/he has used the time wisely, is now in Hollywood, having  just sold the movie script of "Life as a Record Seller!"   

Casting has already begun! 

I wonder what they will use as the musical score...

"Don't let him take me...and drive me mad!"*   :lol 

("..." denotes one line omitted)*

 

 

And then on the honeymoon night you 'do it' with the "Hard Time" version in the background on repeat!  Grounds for divorce right there................  ;D

And (if said nerd doesn't own BB's vinyl), who don't buy anything at first visit, but come and eventually buy out the entire stock of records over a period of months/years as their geekish tendencies win out over financial nous.

As an aside, I just bought CATP and Mt. Vernon & Fairway for a £5!  ;D

I've tried to get my co-workers to sing the "earth chant" vox form Vegatables... "Ooh-la-hot-tay, ooh-la-hot-tay", "row row row row", then the whistling part, with "eat-a-lot" sung over it. This failed miserably and by no means convinced anyne of Brian's genius...

That means you still got your job?

You have a dream wherein you meet Al Jardine. Seriously, this has happened to me.

Was the bus on time?

So true-here in Bath we went from having 3 record shops to one (which now only stocks dance and techno) but there is a guy who runs a record stall every Saturday. And every Saturday I am there hoping for something that isn't Endless Summer or Sunflower.
Unfortunately, I had to break it to the guy that his 'Original 1st Edition' of Surfin' Safari was no such thing-given away buy only the tiniest of details that only a BB Nerd would spot-the vinyl inside contained mostly live tracks, most of which weren't on the album. Let's just say it was reduced by £20 the following week!

So you're sort of a Ralph Nader for the discerning 21th century BBs nutter then?

*due to lack of US Presidential candidancy knowledge, goes on Wikipedia*
Not at all-I waited until he dropped it to £5, bought it and hoped it was a missprint which I could then put on Ebay!! :)

 :lol priceless! I mean: GBP 5, that is...

I was in his house, in the kitchen. His house was powered by carbon friendly solar power panels and wind turbines. In his garden roamed goats and horses. I swear to you I am not making this up - I really did dream it a few months ago! At least he didn't invite me into the hot tub out back eh?

Maybe not in YOUR dream...

'fess up Bgas.  :lol

HA!  Not mine fer sure, but it WAS in your mind, wasn't it...  ;)

What was this thread about again?

So Al Jardine has appeared in your dreams too? Has anyone else had a late night vision of Al? Maybe Al is the Freddie Kruger of the Beach Boys world, appearing in fans dreams at will?

Dream about Al? Two nights ago, as a matter of fact. Or, actually, more about his horse than Al.

I came along the beach and saw his house in the distance, noticing that it wasn't so isolated as I thought it would be. It was on a mountain range and was constituted of several brown, wooden cubes with windows facing the sea. I thought I'd go up there to say hi, but as I approached the house, a giant black horse came out of nowhere and hindered me. I tried different methods to go past it, but it wouldn't let me. Suddenly it opened its mouth and put my entire right hand in it and dragged me along. I managed to get loose after a while, but found it the best thing to do not to try to approach the house again.

I did my part in proseltysing for The Beach Boys: I included Holland on a disc of music I made for my American history prof. I then went to her office and we chatted about the historical context surrounding the album and we even listened to all of California Saga as well as "Don't Go Neat The Water" and "You Need A Mess Of Help..."! In retrospect, I should have included Surf's Up as well but I neglected to do so at the time as I figured six albums was enough. (The other albums, for the curious, were: Randy Newman - 12 Songs; Sail Away [rather fitting given Brian's intense interest in the album during the Holland period, I thought]; Good Old Boys as well as Nancy Wilson - Something Wonderful and Lee Dorsey - Ride Your Pony/Get Out Of My Life, Woman -- not exactly any sort of tight musical relationship, but all great stuff nonetheless!) I reckon I can foist other stuff upon her if she digs what I gave her that time, haha.

So Al's house is apparently protected by a black horse of doom. Only the pure of heart may pass this four legged sentinel and enter the Jardine Kingdom.

Next time I get to CA, I'll have to swing by that way, cuz I'm a shoo-in

I bet if you were to ring Al's doorbell it would play Loop De Loop.

I had a dream once while camping at Big Sur that I snuck onto Al's ranch and it was a bunch of people (and Al) in his barn in white suits (not unlike his white pimp get-up he wore at Knebworth) holding candles and looking at me with no expressions!

Mysterious black horses, errie candlelit gatherings....  they always say it's the quiet ones you have to watch out for!

so many al jardine dreams in this thread...
i honestly think that if somebody can name the six primary Beach Boys, they're an aficionado.

Brian Wilson, M. Edward Love, Michael E Love, M.E. Love, Al Jardine, Bruce Johnston

David Marks, Blondie Chaplin, Ricky Fataar, Glen Campbell, Hal Blaine, Jan Berry....am I close? ??? ??? ???

No need for last names...

only...

Brian, Dennis, Carl, Al, Mike and Bruce...

just like

John, Paul, George and Ringo! :lol

I’m affraid this means you’re not an aficionado...  ::)

My dear Smile Holland - we must agree to disagree here...

The lineup when I became a fan in 1965, was thusly, as enumerated above...for those fans in the early 1960's...it includes Dave Marks...(I did not see him for 20 years until he covered the spot when Carl was terminal. )

And, I am sure if you posed the same question of young (fans) people, the name John Stamos would appear...and not Dennis or Carl, and some would not like it but the band membership shifted as time marched on...

That is how I view it and stand solidly behind it.  I still include Dennis and Carl, because they were around those days and whose work is still being released.  It all depends (as in the law) where you are standing...From where I stand, that is the band, and humor aside, it is an arbitrary label.  My late parents lamented, in the late 1960's that I probably knew more Beach Boys music than Geometry and certainly Trigonometry.  They were probably correct...but you like what you like...

Who has set the criteria for aficionado?  or  "aficionada" which is the female equivalent, en Espagnol, defined as  a "fan or devotee" - it does not denote the criteria of an expert...Are there reasonable parameters for everyone's inclusion?  "We are all fans or devotes here."  I think... ;)

Ah, but it depends on how you define "primary". I looked at it as "original". And then I immediately see the Hawthorne memorial in front of me with BW, CW, DW, ML, AJ, and DM. And that's as water-tight as it can get for me.

But I don't underestimate Bruce's role in the group either. Hey, if I had to define who the Beach Boys were when I became a fan, then mr. Stamos. might have been on thet "primary"-list" and there certainly would be no Dennis and Brian...

As for the afficianado-term: I was purely responding on fishmonk's statement, and your reply. Hence the  ::)  smiley...

I go by the lineup as printed in the various compilations. Y'know, the one that states:

The Beach Boys are
Brian Wilson
Carl Wilson
Dennis Wilson
Mike Love
Alan Jardine
and
David Marks (1962-63)
Bruce Johnston (1865-72, 1978-present)
Blondie Chaplin (1972-73)
Ricky Fataar (1972-74)

Bruce Johnston, the Original Beach Boy  :lol

So Bruce was in the band 97 years before they formed?  ;D

Yeah. He's much older than he looks.

Yes the "fishmonk" post went with the "six" concept...notwithstanding AGD's date-specific grid, which looks backwards, up to the present with regard band member "service time."

If you look at the 1967 Tour Book, by its "own hand" - there are six "listed and enumerated" Beach Boys...That is a personal snapshot.   It is a "window" that is my personal point of reference. Mine was forward-looking from my initial serious "aficionada" status in the fall of 1965, even though I knew who they were since the Ed Sullivan shows and Disney movie "The Monkey's Uncle."  

For other fans, the list can either be more or less inclusive, with respect to any point in time.

Having a "my group is better than your group" debate seems pretty silly to me...JMHO

As hopefully more work is released to the public, the individual contributions of respective members will be undeniable, also nothwithstanding what the industry may or may not have rejected for final album editing.  It is not all as cut and dry as it may appear on the surface.  ;)  

This is purely a personal thing, but my BB listings have always been thus:

I - original 1961
Brian, Carl, Dennis, Mike & Alan.

II - classic #1 1962-3
Brian, Carl, Dennis, Mike & David.

III - original redux 1963-5
Brian, Carl, Dennis, Mike & Alan.

IIIa - touring only 1965
*Brian, Carl, Dennis, Mike, Alan, Bruce & Glen. [* - non-touring]

IV - classic #2 1965-71 (what most ordinary folk would recognise as the classic lineup)
*Brian, Carl, Dennis, Mike, Alan & Bruce. [* - non-touring]

V - transitional #1 1971-72
*Brian, Carl, Dennis, Mike, Alan, Bruce, Blondie & Ricky.

VI - transitional #2 1972-74
*Brian, Carl, Dennis, Mike, Alan, Blondie (left 1973) & Ricky.

VII - classic #2 redux 1974-83 (in body if not exactly spirit)
*Brian, Carl, Dennis, Mike, Alan & Bruce. [* - non-touring 1975-5]

VIII - post- Dennis 1984-1998
*Brian, Carl, Mike, Alan & Bruce. [* - touring increasingly intermittently to 1996]

IX - post-Carl #1 1998-1999
*Brian, Mike, *Alan, Bruce & David. [* - touring seperately]

X - post-Carl #2 1999-2010
*Brian, Mike, *Alan & Bruce. [* - touring seperately]

I think knowing different lineups is unimportant. I don't know many people who even actually know the name Bruce Johnston, or that there were three Wilson brothers. Mike Love isn't really a household name, you'll meet some people who generally know who Brian Wilson is, but if you can actually name any of the band's lineups I would say you're better off than most people.

So not true. I'll bet you that the average Joe knows Mike Love as the main Beach Boy more so than Brian. I agree that most people couldn't tell you the names of the classic lineup, but that doesn't make knowing the lineups unimportant. When people don't know, but want to learn, then I'm more than happy to teach them.

Sooooo true-all of it.

IV - My "classic list!"  and for those young ones...most of the Boys were a "household name" - every one knew who Dennis Wilson was in the 1960's...maybe not now as much time has elapsed...but every teenager in the 1960's certainly knew the band members names'...not unlike other famous groups like  The Cowsills!  The Monkees!  The Supremes!  The Rolling Stones! Dino, Desi, and Billy! 
 ;)

Thanks for the "era" clarification, AGD!
 

Even their songs that had modest success from the late period aren't associated with them very much. Songs like Darlin' aren't as omnipresent as their oldies. To me, I can pick apart the vocals of a song, figure out whos doing each part. I've listened as Carl's voice grew better and Brian's grew worse. I know about the Wrecking Crew, and the whole scene of wonderful music that Brian was a part of. There's a whole history that most people aren't even aware of. There's a huge divide between fans and non-fans. I know some people who listened part way through a twofer, SS/WH or Sunflower/SU or something, they may proclaim Pet sounds as the best album of all time (sans those pesky instrumentals of course), but if you go beyond that you're a short hop away from full blown Beach Boys dementia. It doesn't seem many people are in between.

Questions to determine if a person is a Beach Boys fan,
1. Name one song from the Today LP
2. Name one song from the Friends LP
3. Name one album the band released in the 1970s
4. Name anyone who's ever been in the band.

I don't think I know anyone who can answer any of those questions, except number 4 after hearing me jabber on about BW for hours.

Number 3 ain't too hard.  Many people will say "Endless Summer" - some may even remember "Spirit of America". I remember when "Endless Summer" turned a whole new generation of fans onto The Beach Boys. It even sparked an interest for some to seek out the individual albums. And Number 4 - after TV specials and articles and tours and other stuff, I think he's much more mainstream in popularity than he use to be.

Number 2 - Friends. I had never even HEARD of the album much less the single off of it until I had most of the other 60's albums. It's not one of their biggest sellers or on any top 100 lists, so you really do have to be an afficianado to have even heard of that album. 

For me, I bought all the original Capitol albums in the early 70's. Many of them had already been deleted from the Capitol catalog, and you couldn't find them at Tower or elsewhere, with exception to a few reissues which didn't have all the original tracks included. Then, as soon as I thought I had them all, I found out about Smiley Smile. Then Wild Honey. Cool, I had 'em all now! Nope, you gotta find Friends. And the Deluxe Set! What? There was another I had to find? Yep, 20/20. Then Live In London (which was hard to find in the U.S.) And then Stack-o-Tracks (w/book) which took quite awhile to find! So Sunflower, Surf's Up, Carl & The Passions, and Holland were out in the stores, and new copies of the original post Pet Sounds Capitol black/rainbow label were hard to find already! But revelation after revelation to find out there was more to collect and you had to find them mint through Goldmine, used record stores, or record swap meets. It wasn't easy collecting original Beach Boys albums back then!

For me it would be referencing the Beach Boys in any instant when regarding music in any way; I have a tendency to do that frequently. Especially when regarding the golden era of rock n' roll and why there is no other era since then that can relate as far as significance goes.
I've said it before and Ill say it again- "Chuck Berry invented rock n' roll, the Beach Boys perfected it and the Ramones rejuvenated it".
